I try to use this emoticon judiciously but here I have no choice.

I know there's a word for this ... wait a minute ... it'll come to me ...

oh yes.

I think a darker shade of gold would have worked a lot better

Wolfpack · 04-30-2012, 12:42 PM

Where is the screaming chicken hood decal?
Takes me back 30 years.

Reminds me of a Cosworth Vega......and not in a good way.

Hehe,

I've passed this particular 1M a couple of times here in Berlin and although I'm not a huge fan of the golden rims I must say it is definately one of those "they do look better in real light compared to the pictures!"

Cheers

wan888 · 04-30-2012, 02:45 PM

I think it's not bad
Better than shocking pink or green hulk green

pearlwhites · 04-30-2012, 03:10 PM

Not terrible...

nachob · 04-30-2012, 03:12 PM

I love it mate! Everyone is doing black wheels.... That's so common this looks cool... Yes I did have visions of a screaming chicken on the hood and a young Sally field in the passenger seat. What's wrong with that? I think bronze might look a bit better but I like it. Hat off to you.

Ps. Anyone have pristine trans am with screaming chicken and they don't like it, sell it cheap to me.

I agree, more of a bronze gold.

Maybe like this:

Or darker maybe:

b33g33 · 04-30-2012, 03:34 PM

I had no idea that Flavor Flav bought a 1M and moved to Berlin.

Denso · 04-30-2012, 05:01 PM

Call me Old Skool but i like it

Hey...If you were not at least in elementary school when Jerry Reed sang "when you're hot, you're hot", then you cant say anything about my thoughts on Trans-Ams and the guys I knew that bought them in the 70's and 80's.

Mr.Metak2you · 04-30-2012, 05:57 PM

I think it could work, but need to do a smoked tint on the headlights and blackout grill...

EINSER M · 04-30-2012, 06:03 PM

i love it

you're right, it sure begs for a golden bird on the hood ...?

Powerbeast · 04-30-2012, 06:17 PM

Strangely I don't mind it. It doesn't look bad.

I am old school and the car needs more "gold accents" to tie the package up ........ that said, these darker wheels would be much, much better ....Nice!
